堪薩斯州猶太社區發生槍擊案三人死亡

Authorities in the central U.S. state of Kansas have identified a longtime white supremacist as the suspect in the killing of three people Sunday outside a Jewish community center and a Jewish retirement center.

Frazier Glenn Cross is due to appear in court Monday on charges of premeditated murder.

Police say 73-year-old Cross used a shotgun to kill a man and a teenage boy in the parking lot of the community center in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas. They say he then drove to the nearby retirement community and killed a woman before being arrested at an elementary school.

Police Chief John Douglass said Sunday it was too early to label it a hate crime.

President Barack Obama said the shooting was "horrific" and "heartbreaking," and expressed his support and that of his wife, Michelle, for the victims' families.

美國中部堪薩斯州有關當局已經確定，白人至上主義者克洛斯是星期日在一個猶太社區和一個猶太退休中心外殺害三人的嫌疑人。

克洛斯將於星期一出庭，他被控預謀殺人。

警方說，現年73歲的克洛斯使用一支獵槍，在堪薩斯州堪薩斯城奧弗蘭德公園郊區的猶太社區停車場打死了一名成年男子和一名男孩。警方表示，克洛斯隨後開車到附近的猶太退休中心，打死一名婦女，然後在一所小學被逮捕。

警察局長道格拉斯說，有關當局還不能確定這是一起仇恨罪行。

奧巴馬總統說，這起槍擊事件是“恐怖”和“令人痛心”的，並表示他和總統夫人米歇爾支持遇難者家屬。
